What do you mean by the "log of a particular folder"?

i meant to say i want to know which perticular person is opening that folder and creating a file and which user is deleteing the file. basically its a SAMBA PDC setup here. need help on it.

Interesting Q, doesn't anyone have an answer?

You’d need some sort of kernel module (since inotify doesn’t keep track of this sort of thing). Something as heavyweight as tripwire would work, and something as lightweight as a modified/filtered rfsdelta would work.
